I Thought This Jacket Trend Was Over—7 Sophisticated Autumn Styles Proving Me Wrong

Relaxed jackets and longline blazers have had their fair share of time on the runways and on the racks of your favourite high street shops. Not that I’m complaining—I personally always layer up in looser fits and baggier jackets, especially when autumn and winter roll around. However, there’s one silhouette that’s stolen my attention this year: cropped jackets.

The short and sharp shape ultimately makes these styles of jackets far more sleek than their lengthier counterparts. And you can find them in almost any material and style—whether you love a classic tweed look or prefer the slick sheen of a biker jacket. What completely solidifies them as a staple is that they can slide neatly into countless outfits. Shorter jackets pair well with dresses, billowy trousers and wide leg jeans.
